A group of protesters on Monday barricaded the Abuja office of Amnesty International and asked the international organisation to quit Nigeria within 24 hours.

Speaking for the protesters, Melvin Ejeh warned that the group would lead other Nigerians on a five-day Occupy Amnesty International protest as a first warning, if the organisation does not shut down its operations and leave Nigeria in the next 24 hours.
“Let us warn at this point that there will be no interval of respite if AI failed to leave Nigeria at the end of the five days as we will activate other more profound options to make them the organization leave Nigeria”, Mr. Ejeh, who is Executive Director, Global Peace and Rescue Initiative, GOPRI, said.

He called on Nigerians to “join the movement to get this evil out of our land before it plunges us into real war.”
Mr. Ojeh said organisations like the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, and the Global Amnesty Watch had condemned a recent report by AI which alleged human rights abuses by Nigerian security agencies against arrested Boko Haram suspects.
He accused AI of having ulterior motives.

“Previous calls by concerned groups for the government to kick Amnesty International out of Nigeria for the safety of citizens have gone unheeded. Unfortunately, if this organisation is allowed to continue carrying out its atrocities here it will destabilise Nigeria.
“Unlike our leaders, most of us do not have the resources to relocate our loved ones to other lands if Amnesty International succeeds in ruining this nation.

“Like the victims of AI’s operation in the Middle-East, we would be left without a country and we would not be welcomed in other nations. We will become mere footnotes in its next annual report since it stops showing interest in places it has successfully destroyed.”
Amnesty International in its report alleged human rights abuses by Nigerian security agencies in the war against Boko Haram and in quelling protests in other parts of Nigeria.

The organisation’s latest reports stated that 240 people, including infants, died in a military detention centre in Borno in 2016, while 177 pro-Biafran agitators were extra-judicially killed in the same year.
However, the military denied the claims contained in the report, saying “they were contrived lies orchestrated to blackmail and ridicule the Nigerian Armed Forces.”

Zoo is a zoo

Did someone say protest?
I think I can count about 15000 protesters.

Yeye...

AI -- the most useless organization.

It has never condemned Boko Haram's atrocities for once.

Paid and hired protesters you mean

While Amnesty International may not be perfect in her report sometimes, there are some instances in which they are absolutely right eg.
1)The killing of members of IPOB by the Nigerian Army/DSS.
2)The massacre of members of the Shiite group
Just to state a few.
All this were done with impunity and nobody has prosecuted for these crimes.

AI is trying to make sure that those given the mandate to protect the masses do not turn against them.
If not for most anti-govt protesters will be killed like the shittes and iPOB members.
So this is not about APC or PDP

ain't those two guys crazy

they're getting frustrated by day i mean people like omenkalives.

the world is seeing the atrocities of terrorist Buhari.

Buhari is a terrorist

I am only seeing two paid touts. Leave kor, enter ni.....Smelloos

The heat is on those who organised the Zaria Shia massacre and they have gone into panic mode

Savages and animals

No wonder BMC sarki did not go to work on nairaland today. He was busy holding banner under the hot sun.

Pathetic APC, you no get money hire your protesters again?
Two compound idiots are now 'the group', AI report on the massacre of IPOB and Shiite members is the reason for this trash. AI is going no where!

Foolish protesters
Amnesty International can't be intimidated by paid agents.

How groups are formed in Nigeria these days awe me...

Jobless set of people, because if they have jobs, they won't be out protesting for something as stupid as this in this recession.

That's right. They seems to be working for boko haram.

Who is behind the move? Bubu I guess.

I will fall for your sensible line the day AI castigates BH for its barbaric act.

All want AI does is demoralise our NA that are fighting day and night to keep us safe.

AI seems to be the civil arm of BH and Nigeria will not recognise the stup1d reports coming from the useless organisation.

How many reports of Western countries in Iraq have they reported? How many atrocities of Russians in Syria and Ukraine have they reported?

War against terrorists is an asymmetric war and all is fair and just against those blood sacking demons.

Death to terrorists and their financiers and supporters.
